Looks like I have to wait a month till the next pull to get some action shots of the cub we got 10.5in of rain Thursday night needless to say it was to wet to pull and most of the roads were washed away in my neck of the woods our next pulls is on july 19 happy pulling everyone
Got my first dead weight pull Thursday night 6-26-08. Made a few adjustments for this year hoping to improve on the dead weight side.
Got a little town north a couple boys bought a running sled so maybe a few extra pulls this year.

hi all, my son is gonna try some pulling this year with the tractor me and him rebuilt this winter.its a cub 100 with a 12hp block bored 30 out the head planed 50th. and ported and polished ports. ive put a new new clutch in to. but it still seems to slip particurly in 3rd gear it will never run out of power or spin it just with slip. second isnt to bad but still a little. i ordered a alluminum cluch disc and yellow spring do you guys think it will hold up?
is there any tips anyone could pass on to a new guy. thanks ,jared carson

I have a 86 with 14 horse block version on David Kirt "Killer Kohler" in it. It has a 800 pound spring (red one), split collar holding pressure on the spring and a factory clutch disk. I trued the pressure plates in a lathe before clutch was reassembled.
You can't slip a aluminun clutch very easy.
I don't have any noticeable slippage in the clutch with this setup.

DALE - I'm running the same engine combo in My 72 with the same clutch setup except I've got MWSC billet steel clutch plates. I'm going to soften up the clutch a bit someday when I get time....It's kinda excessive for a "MOW tractor" But the clutch sure doesn't slip!
Dennis,
MWSC clutch plates (or something that I built on a lathe) will be installed the next time the 86 needs clutch plates.
It seams the number one problem I've ran into is someone doesn't true the clutch plates on a lathe. That is the only way you will get a flat surface. Belt sander or a sanding disk on a grinder will not give you a flat surface.
1100 pound spring may be too much spring for your Son to push in. 800 pound spring in my 86 can be hard on my knee after a few hours of run time. I'm planning to try a 650 (blue)pound spring in the future.
The stock spring is rated for 250 pounds.

DALE - Son's 26 yrs old & weighs 275# and is 6+ ft tall.....I think He could almost compress the red spring with His bare hands!
I think next time around I'm installing a stock OEM spring with shims and/or My adjustable split collar. I have a new spring from before I got the MWSC clutch. I'd like to get back to a stock clutch lever length too because I think the T/O bearing is turning almost all the time and I hate to think what kind of grief I'm causing on the ball bearing in the reduction housing from the compression of that stiff spring. I need another clutch for the 70 anyhow so I'll make Julian happy next timne I call!

1100 pound spring comment is for Jared C.'s Son.
The only changes to 86's clutch is a 800 pound spring and a split collar behind spring....no aftermarket/modified clutch lever or clutch plates. This set up works great and is cheap. Tractor has 10.50 ags full of fluid and 60 pounds of weghts on each wheel.

dale,, my clutch spring is broke,just found that out. also just found out the spring i orderd is 800lb red spring. mine has 60lb on each wheel plus fluid in 23x10.5x12 radial carlise bar tires,,it dosnt slip in second gear but in third gear right before the front end comes up it just blows the clutch away but ill have that problem solved before long,jared
Jared,
You will notice a big difference with the red spring in your 100.
I would suggest your try to add a brace behind the clutch yoke bracket. Heavier spring will bend the cross piece that holds the yoke bracket in your 100. It will harder to keep clutch adjusted.
Wide frame tractors like my 86 have a beefier clutch yoke bracket.

you can either buy a spool set-up from one of the suppliers producing them, or the cheaper route get out the trusty old welder and weld up your spider gears in the differential. Personally I like an open rear, It gives you a straighter more controlable ride down the track. But some people perfer it locked Good luck pulling
Thank you Kevin! I am making the 106 strictly a dead weight puller. I thought about the welding and may give it a try. For running down the track I got a very good 1000 for that and will be leaving that rearend alone.

Dennis-- Go to www.vogelmanufacturing.com and check out their new VM TT 23x10.50x12 pulling tires and wheels. These are designed after the Carlisles but have better rubber compound for pulling. Good luck.
